Oracle Database 11g: Data Mining Techniques

Duration: 2 Days
What you will learn
In this course, students review the basic concepts of data mining and learn how leverage the predictive analytical power
of the Oracle Database Data Mining option by using Oracle Data Miner 11g Release 2. The Oracle Data Miner GUI is an
extension to Oracle SQL Developer 3.0 that enables data analysts to work directly with data inside the database.
The Data Miner GUI provides intuitive tools that help you to explore the data graphically, build and evaluate multiple
data mining models, apply Oracle Data Mining models to new data, and deploy Oracle Data Mining's predictions and
insights throughout the enterprise. Oracle Data Miner's SQL APIs automatically mine Oracle data and deploy results in
real-time. Because the data, models, and results remain in the Oracle Database, data movement is eliminated, security
is maximized and information latency is minimized.
